Y Combinator's Elite: High-Growth US Startups of 2023 (goldenpineapple.substack.com)

Transportation/Trucking/Railroad and Aerospace are emerging as the fastest growing industry in 2023 for Y Combinator's portfolio companies.

Also, we see a common theme among these leading companies - they are using AI, data and robots to improve processes in specific industries.

This is fascinating, especially the % growth in the transportation/trucking industry. The explosion of social media ecommerce could certainly be one of the contributing factors.

Interesting to know the recruitment category is booming even though many companies are laying off especially in tech.

Pretty interesting. Heartening to see pace of innovation in SCM, Aerospace, an Productivity for complex engineering. It would be cool to see the correlation between this data and how key players in these industries are performing on the market or will perform in times to come. Likely should be a leading indicator. Good stuff!
